The Trump administration has announced significant cuts to security funding for both Washington, D.C. and New York City, raising concerns about public safety amidst rising crime. D.C. is facing a 44% cut, amounting to $20 million, despite ongoing complaints about crime levels in the capital. Similarly, New York City will see a reduction of $64 million in anti-terrorism funding shortly after a deadly shooting incident. Governor Kathy Hochul has urged federal authorities to reconsider these cuts, highlighting the need for increased security measures in the wake of recent attacks. Both state leaders and lawmakers, including Senator Chuck Schumer, have condemned the federal cuts, arguing they jeopardize the safety of residents in these major urban centers.
